While in Leadville on Christmas Eve

the big pugilist; 81 don't think i could do
anything that would please my mother

"Soff" Wall, the English middle-weight
champion pugilist, has not arrived IN this
country, nor will he before March. He
will make n trur through the Provinces

puncher and it will o do to hold him toe
cheap. After a short stay in Chicago John
will probably return to the metropolis.
His our has been a fairly successful one,
and has put him OF sound financial basis.

MIR. PowDERLY's SALARY.

Mr.. POwDERLY, in reference to the re-
cent attacks made npOn him for accepting
y s., 900 salary, writes that if he had re-
fused to accept it, his enemies would have
charged him, as his former salary was in
adequate. with receiving aid from capital
lists. So he chose what he considered would
have the less effect in leSscning his inlu-
encs among his fellOw-wOrkmen, and
throwing diSeord among the members of
the order.
He adds these words "My purpose to
stand by the Order regardless OF the action
of enemies within or without cannot be
shaken. | worked for the organization

for, and when the few individuals now in

TANNING FRENCH BACHELORS.

TANNING FRENCH BACHELORS.
The republic Of France in its anxiety To
raise revenue to meet the expenses OF the
government and prepare for war Is about
to pass a law placing a heavy tax on
bachelors. This is expected to bring in IN
enormous revenue, rs there are in Paris
alone 100, 900 bachelors against 3SO,OOO
who nave made the periIouS risk. The
proportion is almost as great in other cities
of the republic.
And much of this tax will be permanent.
There are in Paris hut 4l6, 900 spinsterS,
to supply wives for i9O, 900 bachelors.
Thus $4,000 would have to go wife
less and submit to the tax through mo-
fault of their own
Such a measure would probably result
in one of two things: drive French bachelors
into exile or provoke \ European war.
The war news has been flying rather hot in
the past few days, and the latteris likely
to be the result. All those unfortunate
tax prosecuted men would ut once ly to
arms and break across AlsaCc and Lorraine
into Germany. There many would rush
headlong like WINKELREID upon thesPears
of the doughty Germans, resolved to die
with their boots on rather than risk meet
ing the fate of many a henpeeked husband
who is signing in his native land. Others
would, like old RoMULUs and his banu,
seize the first spinsters they could catch
sight of and break with hot haste back to
sunny France.
France is trying dangerous experiment.
1t worked very we'll under the Roman
CFsARs. But France is not Rome and
French bachelors are not Roman bachelors.

Wichita, Kansas, acquired an envi-
able reputation a few months since
with her real estate bo;m and the
means by which it was created is told
in the following by a business man of
the town:
We organized. We heM almost
nightly meetings. and among the first
things we agreed upon vas 10 hang to-
gether. and stay by each other through
thick and thin. We advertised by
hundreds Of thousand. of circulars.
We set forth all our advantages in such
a manner that strangers who were led
by circulars to give US calls were
not deceived, but. ON the contrary.
agreed that we had not put it as strong
we might.
Every townin the east of notorietv
was not only served with our circulars
but our newspapers. And the news
paper Advertising did double duty. Our
people made it a rule to ask all their
friends to advertise. We then sub
scrihed for a large number of copies.
loaded with local advertising and full
accounts of our future prospects and
great advantages. and we found by
%convcrsing with parties who finally
came here prospecting that the full
advertising columns of our papers
which VIC had seer did more than all
else to impress them with the growth
and importance of the place.
We found that we could not overdo
this thing-tl:at the more VIC paid ont
for these purposes the more were our
profits. Every newcomer was a custom
er at most of our stores. and while
their advertising paid them rich re-
turns, it served the double purpose to
impress the eastern man who had an
eve to business, with the fact that
Wichita was in fact a rising town. and
thus we have gone on until we have an
added population since came here Of
over 10000. and property has increased
in business places more than 1000 fold
and in the country round about us the
appreciation has been over 400 per cent
You have: in times gone by, done a
great deal Of advertising for me as YOU
know, but now l know as we'll as yor
can know that printers ink is the bes
capital to boom u town. Had we no
used it unsparingly. Wichita would no
have been larger than Carthage. Ash
is we shall soon outrank any town il
the state.

vcntion lately held at Huron:
W. are ~unalterably opposed to admis-
sion as a whole. We declare for divis-
ion on the seventh standard parallel.
We urge the importance of a full vote
on this question. The convention
afifms the right Of the people about to

their state bcynd.-;;cs subject to modi-
apatieny congress, upon their consent
to the considerations; unites in declar-
ing division in accordance with the
plan submitted by the act Of the terri
torlal legislature to the suffrage Of the
people in November, 1887. We protest
against the tyranny Of congress in re-
|fusing admission, and appeal to
the people Of the Union for
9support. We approve the efforts Of
Senator Dawes and others to secure the
opening Of the Great Sioux reservation,
md ask the president and secretary Of
he interior to recommend to the fiftieth
congress the passage of the measure
providing for the opening for settle
ment Of the reservation.

Your action In fixing this rate
